In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A24A0313. L’OREAL USA, INC. et al. v. BURROUGHS.

A24A0314. STRENGTH OF NATURE GLOBAL, LLC v. BURROUGHS.

GOBEIL, Judge.

In Burroughs v. Strength of Nature Global, LLC, __ Ga. __ (2025), S24G1387, S24G1388, slip op. at 14-20 (2) (Ga. Oct. 15, 2025) (2025 WL 2918923), the Supreme Court of Georgia reversed Division 1 (a) of our opinion in L’Oreal USA Inc. et al. v. Burroughs, 372 Ga. App. 30, 33-38 (1) (a) (903 SE2d 740) (2024). Accordingly, we vacate Division 1 (a) of our earlier opinion, adopt the opinion of the Supreme Court as our own, and affirm the trial court’s denial of the defendants’ motion to dismiss.

Divisions 1 (b), 1 (c), and 2 of our opinion were not affected by the Supreme Court’s decision and thus remain in effect. See Shadix v. Carroll County, 274 Ga. 560, 563-564 (1) (554 SE2d 465) (2001).

Judgment affirmed. Barnes, P. J., and Pipkin, J., concur.
